Qatar is known for its laws criminalizing same-sex relationships. There have also been reports of abuse of migrant workers. In February 2021, The Guardian reported that more than 6,500 migrant laborers from India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar. Most of them were reportedly working on construction projects surrounding the FIFA World Cup.The World Cup organizers have come under fire for labor exploitation and human rights violations, despite reforms in Qatar, as per a recent report from an international human rights research group. The group, Equidem, recorded violations in the Gulf country between September 2020 and October 2022. The report noted that there were significant labor and human rights violations at all eight stadiums.The 95-page report, as cited by USA Today, noted that in the past two years, migrants from Africa and Asia who worked on new stadiums suffered abuse. These included wage theft, physical assault, and inadequate nutrition at the hands of major construction firms.Louise Catherine (they/them)@louisecfhemfreyEvery purchase you make is a vote towards the kind of world you want to live in.
